Pet Photo Friday: Your weekly dose of cuteness!

By Lorrie Shaw

We've indicated several times how important it is to have several photos of your companion animals on hand in case they get lost. Not only quantity is important; it's also helpful to have photos showing them doing different activities.

This week, we were so glad once again see the enthusiasm that our readers have for sharing their photos of their beloved pets — and their ability to capture the essence of each of them.

You'll get the chance to see a Cornish Rex cat — a breed that originated in 1950, in Cornwall, UK — snuggling with his very best friend of 10 years, a Standard Poodle.

Participating in our weekly photo blog is easy — simply email a photo of your pet, just being themselves, to ppsa2mi@gmail.com any time for our weekly Pet Photo Friday feature.

Be sure to include the name of the animal, as well as their age and city or township of residence in your email. Photos should be 600 pixels wide and in .jpg format.

We put the week's photos into a slideshow, publish and promote each Friday here in the Pets section.
